Safest Ways to Pay Rent in Nigeria: Paystack vs Bank Transfer vs Cash
Keyda Security Team · Platform Safety8 February 20257 min read
How you pay your rent matters. Some methods offer protection against fraud; others leave you with no recourse. Here's what to use — and what to avoid.
Ranked by traceability
- Paystack/card or bank transfer with receipt
- Platform escrow (Keyda payment flow)
- Bank draft (older method, still used)
- Cash (last resort — always get signed receipt)
Never pay into personal accounts without verifying relationship to the property. Scammers love untraceable transfers.
